About Us
- We aim to help charities get the most out of online commerce. We want to make it possible for any charity to benefit from any gift from any donor.
- To achieve that vision we're trying to make it easier to give as a part of daily life online, and working to change the way people think about philanthropy. We are a registered charity (No 1110538).
- In all our work, we aim to be:
- Trusted by our partners and users,
- Responsive with excellent customer service,
- Ambitious on behalf of the charities we help, and
- Cutting edge, helping charities to embrace new technology.

eBay for Charity
- Our major initiative is eBay for Charity, a unique programme that helps charities raise money on eBay.
- eBay for Charity helps charities of all sizes to raise funds by trading on the eBay marketplace. It also gives over 21 million eBay.co.uk users a secure and efficient way of donating a percentage of their sales to a charity of their choice.
- As eBay’s partner for the eBay for Charity programme, MissionFish vets charities, processes donations, collects Gift Aid and advises charities on how to make the most of the eBay marketplace.

Why “MissionFish”?
- “MissionFish” is a memorable name, and we hope you like it. It’s a combination of two ideas we have about supporting the sector.
- 1. Good organisations should get to focus more on delivering their missions, and less on staying afloat. Our "Mission" is to help them serve theirs.
- 2. A lack of sustainable, unrestricted funding can prevent organisations building the infrastructure they need to succeed. Rather than "giving fish” to keep a charity running, or even "teaching them to fish,” we’re trying to build “fisheries" that sustain charities in the long-term.

MissionFish in the US
- Since 2003, our sister organisation MissionFish (US) has helped eBay to run eBay Giving Works. MissionFish is a nonprofit collaboration of the Points of Light Institute, Pew Charitable Trusts, and The Case Foundation .
